V-1
WHEN DID ALL THIS BEGIN,
THIS HAND ME DOWN SECOND HAND PAIN.
TELL ME JUST WHEN DID ALL THIS START,
PASSING DOWN, THIS HAND ME DOWN BROKEN HEART.
JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE HAD ONE,
WHAT GOOD CAN EVEN BE DONE,
BY JUST PASSING IT ON DOWN,
WHERE IS THE GOOD FOUND?
CHORUS
YES, CLOTHES THAT ARE SECOND HAND,
HAND ME DOWNS, I CAN UNDERSTAND.
BUT WHEN DID A HAND ME DOWN BROKEN HEART,
OF THESE SECOND HAND, HAND ME DOWNS BECOME A PART.
V-2
AS A YOUNG KID,
HAND ME DOWNS WAS DID.
NOTHING BY ALL OF US THOUGHT,
WHEN NEW CLOTHES WASN'T BROUGHT?
NOTHING, WE COULD EVER DO,
TO GET NEW CLOTHES FOR ME AND YOU.
CHORUS
YES, CLOTHES THAT ARE SECOND HAND,
HAND ME DOWNS, I CAN UNDERSTAND.
BUT WHEN DID A HAND ME DOWN BROKEN HEART,
OF THESE SECOND HAND, HAND ME DOWNS BECOME A PART.
BRIDGE
WHY CAN'T I FOUND A HEART,
THAT OF LOVE HASN'T BEEN A PART?
V-3
SHIRTS, PANTS, AND SEW UP SOCKS,
JUST WOULD APART OUR DREAMS, ROCK,
NOW, ADD A BROKEN HEART TO THAT UNFORGOTTEN, UNHAPPY LIST.
YOU KNOW GETTING A BROKEN HEART WASN'T AT ALL MY WISH.
CHORUS
YES, CLOTHES THAT ARE SECOND HAND,
HAND ME DOWNS, I CAN UNDERSTAND.
BUT WHEN DID A HAND ME DOWN BROKEN HEART,
OF THESE SECOND HAND, HAND ME DOWNS BECOME A PART.
BUT WHEN DID A HAND ME DOWN BROKEN HEART,
OF THESE SECOND HAND, HAND ME DOWNS BECOME A PART.
